Setup the local nuget feed as a nuget package source (this is only required once per machine)

Go to the consuming project

Update the package

Update-Package Library

or Install-Package

TLDR

change library code

run “rake nuget”

run “Update-Package library” in the consuming application

build/test!

If you manually execute any of this process, especially copying files, you will find it a burden to develop the library and will find yourself dreading it, and even worse, making changes downstream instead of updating the shared library for everyone’s sake.

Publishing

Once you have a set of changes that you want to release, consider versioning and possibly increment the minor version if needed.

Pick the package out of your local feed, and copy it to a public / shared feed!

I have a script to do this where I can drop the package on a batch file
